MOD DISPLAY
A red icon means there is no connection between MOD and the
remote controller. Whenever the remote controller is more than ten
feet away from MOD, the connection is lost. If you are using MOD
with a different remote controller, a red icon means that MOD isn’t
paired with the remote.
Why does my display
show a red icon?
Steps to take:
1. Bring MOD into close proximity to the remote controller.
Press any button on the remote controller and wait for the icon
to turn blue.
2. Try to re-pair the remote controller. See the instructions in
Pairing a Remote Controller later in this guide.
Why does my display
show the RECON
logo instead of the

This happens when you turn MOD back on after it is powered off.
Wait a few seconds for the dashboard to appear, or restart MOD.

MOD DATA
IMPORTANT NOTE: MOD can lose data or lose its connection to the
remote controller due to electromagnetic interference. Sources of
interference include transmission towers, two-way radios, wireless
devices, industrial devices operating on RF frequency as well as
motion sensors, remote controls, and microwave ovens. steps and
advice in this section.
MOD uses GPS technology to determine speed. When you turn on
MOD, you need to wait ten minutes for it to acquire satellite data.
GPS technology works best in open spaces with a 360 degree view of
the sky which gives access to at least three satellites. Being in a valley,
beside a tree, building or rock face can block MOD from getting GPS
coverage. Avoid using MOD inside buildings and gondolas or near
solid obstructions such as trees and rock faces can interrupt GPS
coverage and cause incorrect data to appear.
Why is the speed
value wrong?
Steps to take:
1. Change location. Move to an open location with a clear view of
the sky. If you are in a valley or gulley, move to higher ground.
2. Wait for the GPS indicator icon to show two or three green
signals.
3. If changing location does not help, restart MOD by turning the
power off and on again.
4. If you can’t get a GPS signal, contact Recon Support.

While MOD is waiting for a GPS signal, the dashboard speedometer
displays “--”until it can calculate a valid speed from GPS data.
Steps to take:
Why does the
speedometer show
“--” instead of
numbers?
1. Change location. Move to an open location with a clear view of
the sky. If you are in a valley or gulley, move to higher ground.
2. Wait a few minutes for the GPS indicator icon to show two or
three green signals.
3. Restart MOD by turning the power off and on again.

MOD calculates altitude using a combination of air pressure
and GPS data.
Why is the
altitude wrong?
When MOD is not moving, data from the air pressure sensor is
changed to match the GPS reading. Storms affect air pressure, causing
the altitude to decrease. In clear weather, altitude data will increase.
Steps to take:
1. If you have been sitting or standing in an open area for more than
a half hour, turn MOD off and on.
2. Wait ten minutes, and turn MOD back on.

MOD uses GPS technology to determine statistics. Your location
affects the GPS coverage, for example, being in a valley, beside a tree,
building or rock face.
Steps to take:
Why are my
statistics wrong?
1. Change location. Move to an open location with a clear view of
the sky. If you are in a valley or gulley, move to higher ground.
2. Wait for the GPS indicator icon to show two or three green signals.
3. If changing location does not help, restart MOD by turning the

4. If your statistics are still incorrect, reset them using the
Preferences menu.
Why does the clock

Steps to take:
• Check that you are using the Recon AC adapter and USB cable
included in the MOD box. Check that the AC cable says Recon
Instruments.
Why can’t I get
a full charge?
• Turn MOD off before you recharge.
• Turn on your PC or Mac; make sure it is not in standby mode.
